Movement allows me the chance to explore many stories that are deeply embedded in my identity, ranging from the unfamiliar, the scary, and the most comfortable parts of myself. As a black, queer artist, I am beyond grateful to further investigate myself in such a beautiful space as Nederlands Dans Theater. – Ricardo
